THE CHALLENGE:
Optimizing SAP Availability and Data Protection


Today’s enterprise is application and data driven. Business-critical applications like SAP rely on data to be available around the clock. Any disruptions have an immediate and visible impact on the core business. With the amount of SAP data growing rapidly and demand on those databases rising, ensuring availability and protecting valuable SAP data assets is becoming increasingly difficult. To succeed,administrators need tools that help them achieve maximum efficiency. Backups must occur regularly and with minimal impact; restores must be lightning quick; data cloning for testing and development must be non-disruptive; and full SAP database recovery, should it be necessary, must occur in minutes, not hours or days.

AUTOMATED BACKUP

A key benefit of SnapManager for SAP is fast and reliable disk-based backup.SnapManager builds on the capabilities of NetApp Snapshot™ technology to create extremely rapid and space-efficient backups.The entire SAP data backup operation takes place in seconds, so database performance is never impacted.SnapManager for SAP automatically works with SAP’s BRBACKUP tool to identify the backup data set and put the appropriate database in hot backup mode while a Snapshot copy is created to ensure consistency. Any backup can then be immediately verified, or verification can be deferred. Because backups are quick and non-isruptive, they can be performed at regular intervals throughout the day, providing a higher level of SAP data protection and ensuring that recoveries,when necessary, occur quickly with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN TIME TO RECOVER
